**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented Regarding 3: Which Maven version are you using? It was an issue with previous Resolver versions. General question: Who is the target audience for this file? Vote participants? Maven Resolver? Please note: This file is NOT intended for verification, it is transport only. See https://maven.apache.org/resolver/about-checksums.html. Verification is signatures only. If the source release should only be in the dist area then it should be accompanied with a BSD style hash file for external verification and not be present on Maven Central at all. My personal question has always been: Why does it need to be on Central at all?!
